Back in the Day I have known people who sold Wiis in the atermarket. He had to assure people he had Wii Sports and that the system came with Wii Sports and he even had to open the box and show a few people that it did in fact come with Wii Sports.
It may not be the most technical game ever. It is a fun game and whether or notyou or I like it it is responsible for the Wii sales...Hint it was selling like Hot Cakes before SSBB and MKWii and even SMG. It didn't sell on Nintendo's name alone and the controller while a lure nobody buys a game system for a controller with no games to play.
Comparing Wii ports current annual sales to games 1 year newer then it is retarded those two games you mentioned MKWii and Wii Fit have monster legs just like Wii Sports does in Japan they are just further up the channel and it is a very weak argument.
Comparing it to games that have been out over a year longer with total sales is a bit more fair but then again still shows bias because you still have a whole additional year in sales in NSMBs case and 4 practical years of sales in SMBs case.
You do buy Wii Sports because it was more expensive in the US and Europe than Japan.
Finally WSR will be the true test of this and I predict higher sales for that in Japan.
